Last thing about genre--I rarely think about it first, but usually just whether or not it "sounds good."
This did lead to the rare but occasional problem with finished demos for clients: once in a blue moon my demo would stray too far from what the client had envisioned, and I would then redo what was needed. Some clients were writing for specific genres for contests or what-have-you. I do think that most of the time "what sounds good" should trump category, and in fact, I think following "where the song leads us" is a healthy practice.
This is NOT to say that you aren't doing that here. I indeed think you are: this lyric has led you very passionately to Southern Rock. How can I disagree?

-The Divine Comedy (Neil Hannon) from the song "Songs of Love" from the album "Casanova" (1996)
Gomer ? Jim Nabors , Sang like a bird Goober was the mechanic I think Floyd was the nervous barber Aunt B. Andy never marries again Barney the bumbling deputy And of course Oppie. That winds up a Oscar director The Norman Rockwell painting of life, back then. That painting was destroyed, when Archie Bunker stepped on the scene .
This popped up on YouTube and I thought of this song when I listened. Similar crazy woman theme, though not exactly the same. It's the approach I would have taken (no surprise there), although I don't have this guy's kind of talent obviously. More bouncy and melody focused. It doesn't rock like Tony, but it has its merits for this kind of whimsical lyric.
Hi, Tony. Sorry about the delay. This came out really well. Think about revisiting Choppers with the original lyric and an arrangement similar to Some Beach.
This ? pretty old song now . That's Bobby Braddock playing the dentist . So Bobby what was going with you back in the 70ties ? " Well we all had speed addictions"
"Some Beach" is a song written by Rory Feek and Paul Overstreet Rory the artist, his wife died of cancer , Real sad .
It's precisely because it's old that it's a good template for my original lyric. They have similar structures, though completely different themes. Some Beach is a great example of a strong hook, driven home.
